I'm a geochemist. In the past ten years I've fixed mass spectrometers, blasted sapphires with a laser beam, explored for uranium in a nature reserve, and measured growth patterns in fish ears, and helped design the next generation of the world's most advanced ion probe. My main interest is in-situ mass spectrometry, but I have a soft spot in my heart for thermodynamics, drillers, and cosmochemistry.

In "The best book you've never read", I mentioned that Author Harry Connolly, fantastic Urban fantasy "Circle of Enemies", which was an amazing novel that hardly anyone has managed to get a hold of. It turns out that the Author is launching his next series on Kickstarter. The appeal finishes tomorrow, but anyone interested in getting in on this can still do so, if you read this blog post in the next 12 hours.
